Kristen Turpin

Kristen Turpin teaches all levels of Spanish language and culture, with areas of expertise in writing, multiliteracies, integrated performance assessment, and content-based instruction. As a Comparative Literature Ph.D., she believes in the centrality of authentic texts and cultural content to the foreign language curriculum. In her classes, her students not only acquire language skills, but also investigate cultural differences, engage in higher-order thinking, and reflect critically about their place, roles, and responsibilities in society.
